Dec 17, 1985 - Segments in the leech arise by the proliferation of longitudinally arrayed bandlets of blast cells derived from ten identifiable embryonic stem cells, two M, two N, four O /P and two Q teloblasts. In each bandlet, older blast cells …

Feb 5, 2014 - Recent interest in the neural bases of spatial navigation stems from the discovery of neuronal populations with strong, specific spatial signals. The regular firing field arrays of medial entorhinal grid cells suggest that they may provide place

Mar 12, 1990 - For granulocytic-macrophage progenitor populations and their progeny, five glycoproteins have been identified: GM-CSF, G-CSF, multi-CSF, M-CSF and IL-6 that can regulate their proliferative activity, maturation and functional activities. The same

Feb 6, 2014 - Controlling and improving neuronal cell migration and neurite outgrowth are critical elements of tissue engineering applications and development of artificial neuronal interfaces. To this end, a promising approach exploits nano/microstructured

Sep 6, 1984 - Early biosynthetic studies implicated the intestine as one of the major sites of synthesis of C1q in guinea-pigs, humans and pigs (Colten et al. 1966; Colten et al. 1968; Day et al. 1970). Columnar epithelial cells were considered to be the

Jun 24, 1980 - Cancers are clones of abnormal cells, arising presumably as the result of mutational or epigenetic alterations of gene expression. The kinetics of appearance of spontaneous cancers in populations of multiplying cells (i. e. the relation between age

Jun 6, 2013 - Intravital microscopy has become increasingly popular over the past few decades because it provides high-resolution and real-time information about complex biological processes. Technological advances that allow deeper penetration in live tissues,

Sep 16, 1983 - Bacterial infection often involves toxin-mediated damage to the host. This can occur at mucosal epithelial surfaces, in subepithelial tissues (involving connective tissue, blood vessels and host defence cells), or at organ or tissue sites distant

Aug 6, 2012 - The reaction and diffusion of morphogens is a mechanism widely used to explain many spatial patterns in physics, chemistry and developmental biology. However, because experimental control is limited in most biological systems, it is often unclear

Nov 19, 1980 - The tumour-inducing plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Ti-plasmids) reveal several interesting properties. They are catabolic plasmids, which, instead of rendering Agrobacterium strains capable of catabolizing compounds found in Nature, force a
